IT'S A PERKS ALPHABET READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to follow the alphabet from the last one posted
* The Alphabet letter can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, narrator etc.
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in March 2015 that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it follows the alphabet and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!
EXAMPLE
Post 1:
Kristie posts:
A
Artemis Fowl (Title)
Kristie's tally - 1 book
Perks Group tally - 1 book
Post 2:
Karen Posts
B
Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris (character Bobo Winthrop)
Karen's tally: 1 book
Perks group tally: 2 books
Post 3:
Kristie posts:
C
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (title and author)
Kirstie's tally: 2 books
Perks group tally: 3 books
.... hopefully you get the idea....
NOTE: You can read any book of any length, children's books and graphic novels also count. Please just remember to check the tally of the book ahead of you and add up the tally as you post
Books need to be marked as "read" between March 1 and March 31, 2015. (It doesn't matter when you started)

Hi Amanda - I have added you to Team FrozenHi Alejandra - I have added you to team Nightmare Before Christmas!
Please welcome new team member Amanda!You can count all her books read since Feb 1.
Also, sorry to say that Rhonda has had an unexpected emergency and has had to leave the game. You can continue to count the books she had already read in Feb.
I have copied all the randomised cards to your March tab of your spreadsheets - hooray!
NOTE: There are 13 hands for March to stretch your reading goals even further!
A word about genres....When you go to the book page on Goodreads, on the right hand side is "genres". The genres listed here are acceptable. So one book may be listed as "romance", "fiction" and "fantasy" and then it is up to you to work out which square works best for you.
As these genres aren't always the most reliable, if you think your book's genre isn't listed you can post it here for a ruling (I check how it is marketed by the publisher and listed at some libraries to determine genre)
Hi Rosina, I have allocated you to Nightmare Before ChristmasEmilt, you're on Harry Potter!

~BINGO Mini Challenge~This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players.
◈ Books with a read date between February 14 - February 28, 2015 count
◈ As a team, get "BINGO" by reading books for five squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a line (there are 12 possible lines)
◈ Only one book per square
◈ For each line completed, your team receives a "BINGO Bonus" of being able to chose one card in any hand for the duration of the challenge (Feb 1 - April 30) that you can claim double points for
◈ Books used for BINGO do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands
◈ "Free Space" square means you can read any book
◈ The usual book length rules apply, Books must be more than 160 pages in length and Children's books and Graphic Novels can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 40,000 words using arbookfind.com
◈ Team spreadsheets have been updated with a BINGO tab so that you can track your books and claim your bingo lines
Notes
◈ Current Best Seller: We will accept any major best selling links, just provide the link with the book. A good website to use is http://www.bookdepository.com/bestsel...
◈ Colours on the cover need to be the predominant colour. If unsure you can post here for a ruling
◈ It is one book per square, but remember that lines overlap, so in total to cover all the bingo squares is 25 books
